Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The fixed connection between the atomization core and conductive post in atomizers leads to increased mounting difficulty and poor electrical connection stability, resulting in potential contact issues over long-term use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed connection is made between the atomization core and conductive post, then the electrical connection is established, but the mounting difficulty increases and the electrical connection stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive post is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to automatically adjust its position during assembly. The elastic portion enables the conductive post to flex and accommodate variations in component positioning, transforming a static rigid connection into a dynamic adaptive connection that is both easy to assemble and reliable
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive post changes its physical state between a bent configuration during assembly (for ease of insertion) and a straight configuration during operation (for stable electrical connection). The elastic portion allows the conductive post to transition between these states, optimizing both mounting ease and connection reliability
2Reliability
If a fixed connection is made between the atomization core and conductive post, then the structure is simplified, but the contact stability deteriorates over long-term use
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive post incorporates an elastic portion that allows dynamic adjustment during assembly and operation. This elastic component absorbs positioning variations and maintains stable contact pressure over time, improving contact stability without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic portion acts as an intermediary element between the fixed base and the atomization core. It mediates the connection by providing both mechanical support and electrical conductivity while accommodating dimensional variations, thereby maintaining contact stability without adding significant structural complexity

AI summary
Provided is an atomizer. The atomizer includes a base, an atomization cover, a heating assembly, and a conductive assembly. The atomization cover is fixed to the base. An atomization cavity is formed between the atomization cover and the base. The heating assembly is arranged at the base and located in the atomization cavity. The heating assembly includes a heating member. The conductive assembly includes a conductive post configured to be connected to a power source of the atomizer. The conductive post is fixed to the base and has a contact terminal partially extending into the atomization cavity. The atomization cover is configured to fix the contact terminal to the heating member when the atomization cover is fixed to the base, to enable the contact terminal to be electrically connected to the heating member. In the above atomizer, the conductive post is fixed to the base and electrically connected to the power source of the atomizer. By mounting the atomization cover at the base, positions of the conductive post and the heating member are fixed to realize an electrical connection between the heating assembly and the conductive assembly and stable electric contact. In addition, assembly between various components can be facilitated.
